The Theory of Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism

Eric Blair in his book,Nineteen
Eighty Fourdescribes so much
that is happening in our current world.The
Politics andThe
Prince also try to explain the real motives behind leadership in every
government in every part of the world. But what did Eric Blair think of to
write such amazing works?

At the time of his writing, USSR was undergoing so much
that it needed someone to enlighten the masses. The Animal farmtried bringing out the concept of
evil leaders who claimed to be on the side of the masses, yet back stabbed
them. Hitler in his quest for power also used the same phrase in order to gain
power and support from the foolish masses who were easily deceived by some
propaganda. It is no different to what we are witnessing now.

Governments are using ISIS, Al Qaeda and words like
"terrorism" to win the masses. All this is modern day
propaganda.

In 1984, Blair talks about a country known as Oceania which
is and always has been at war with Eurasia. The main character, Wilson Smith,
in his mind knows very well that it is all hoax to fool everyone. Oceania has
always been at war with Eastasia. But the masses believe nothing of the kind.
They are brainwashed to believing that the government of the time under Big
Brother is and will always be right. The government changes everything
including recalling textbooks from schools which are then re-written to fit the
current masses.

The story goes on to a chapter which will catch the
attention of every reader who has ever or will ever read the book.The Theory of Practice of
Oligarchical Collectivism, by Emmanuel Goldstein. This is a conspiracy book
which is used by every underground member who wants to destroy the Big Brother
government. Winston tries reading it, but only a few chapters. The rest is
unknown.

In Oceania, the government kills its own people and claims
that Eurasia attacked them. it goes on to claim more lives day in day out. In
the same government, there are thought police and four ministries which are
responsible for everything that happens from pornography to mind control.
Notice any similarity with the current world?

Long story cut short, the Oceania government teaches
everyone that it is a perfect state with no flaws. The war claims more lives
but no one knows the truth because the government has brainwashed everyone to
believing what it teaches.

Let’s make a comparison to our current century:

a)Before the American
government invaded Iraq, it needed some sort of strong propaganda to gain
access to the country. Osama bin Laden was used as Emmanuel Goldstein of 1984,
to act as the bad guy under Al Qaeda. So, the government of US plans for the
death of its people, the 9/11 attacks, which had to happen as an open gate to
win the masses and to gain entry into the Middle East. But what for? Oil and
free taxation.

So they invade the country, collude with some local
opposition and create a war between the Iraqis themselves. Thousands die but no
one questions the Americans. And that’s how they get enough oil to do whatever
they please.

b)We go to the Arab
spring. Was it a coincidence? No! It was all a conspiracy to remove Gaddafi
from power because he refused to cooperate with the West. The French and
British took some opposition, paid them, made them betray their president, and
then war. As of now, Libya will never see peace. It was never about the Arab
countries, it was about Gaddafi, Libya and Oil.

c)Nigeria, same case.
Boko Haram sponsored and armed by the West. Africans never learn. Kenya,
Westgate attacks, Garissa University attacks. All planned by the government.
What for? Without the Westgate attacks, Kenya Defense Force wouldn't have a
good chance in Somalia. Amisom is funded by the UN and American government. Why
can't they come? They need a brother to kill another so that they take no
blame.

d)France attacks, the
recent Brussels attacks, all government conspired. The CIA controls almost
everything, from the thinks we think to the things we witness. No one questions
them.

There is never a coincidence. It is all a conspiracy talked
about by Wilson Smith in 1984. Emmanuel Goldstein, the villain in the book,
knows the truth, but we are not told whether he exists or not. Why all this?
World dominion requires fooling the masses, killing the masses and telling them
propaganda to earn their trust. A lie told several times becomes a truth, said
Hitler. He knew the weakness of the human mind.

Below is a summary of what the book by Goldstein talks
about:

Global Stalemate

1.The
three super-states of the world, Eurasia, Eastasia and Oceania, are each large
enough to sustain the needs of their own populations and so don’t need to fight
each other for resources. At the same time, each is powerful enough by itself
that it cannot be conquered by the other two, so all three are in a kind of global
stalemate.

Never-ending war

2.Although they do not need to fight each
other, they do. The borders don’t change much, but the war never stops.
Never-ending war is used by all three as a way of consuming the products of
human labor. If this work were be used to increase the standard of living
(which is how it is under capitalism), individual groups would gain more
knowledge and education and therefore political power, so the control of the Party
over the people would decrease, and the Party might fall. In 1984, continuous
war is the economic basis of a hierarchical society – where the Party controls
the top and the proles are at the bottom

"War
is Peace."

3.In
becoming continuous, war has ceased to exist in any sense of the word we know
today.

The different sides are not trying to win anything.
The continuity of the war guarantees the permanence of the current world order.
In other words, "War is Peace."

An emotional focal
point

4.Big Brother was created as an emotional
focal point for people to connect to with their feelings, in the same way we
might send feelings of hope, fear, reverence or the need for protection out to a
president or other leading figure. There is an emotional need to believe in the
ultimate authority of and victory of Big Brother. Whatever Big Brother says is
“the absolute truth” because he is the one saying it. By this standard,
anything not in line with what Big Brother is saying must be false (even if it
came from Big Brother) and so is thought crime.

The
Upper, the Middle and the Lower.

5.Throughout history, there have always been
three main strata of society; the Upper, the Middle and the Lower. At different
times the Middle Class has gotten the Lower Class to support it in conquering
the Upper Class and taking power (this is revolution), but then the old Middle
Class becomes the new Upper Class and clings to power just like the ones they
defeated used to. The Lower Class, on the other hand, never gets anywhere, but
they have always been deceived by promised of equality. Until Big Brother came
along, this cycle never ceased.

No
basis for comparison

6.By controlling every emotion and every
form of media, the Party ensures that no one at any level has a basis by which
to compare their lives to anything better. This, combined with doublethink.
This is how the Party is able to tell obvious lies (“everything is getting
better”) and have people believe them without question.

“The essence of oligarchical rule is not father-to-son
inheritance, but the persistence of a certain world-view and a certain way of
life, imposed by the dead upon the living.”

This book explains the how and why of the current
government of Oceania. This state of existence is not natural in any way or
predestined; it is the result of the concentrated efforts of a select group who
placed into motion a chain of events designed to perpetuate their own power.

Chapter 1: Ignorance is STRENGTH

The three states essentially coexist with limited contact;
that contact is primarily through WAR As long as they maintain the same level
of skill, TECHNOLOGY and RESOURCES no one state will win over the other.
Because there is no contact between the citizens of the states, the super
states are able to rule as DICTATORSHIPS

In the history of man, society has always divided itself
into three classes: upper, middle, and lower. The high class wants to remain in
power. The middle class wants to REPLACE the upper class. The low class wants a
society that has no CLASS DISTINCTIONS when revolution occurs, THE LOWER and
MIDDLE classes join forces. After the revolution, the original LOWER class is
in the worst position. The people who founded Oceania and the other states
wanted to stop the PENDULUM which swung back and forth determining which people
had power.

Typically, the upper class has fallen because of four
reasons. They are CONQUERED FROM THE OUTSIDE, THE MASSES REVOLT, MIDDLE CLASS
REBELS, and THE UPPER CLASS LOSES THE WILL/CONFIDENCE TO GOVERN IngSoc was
founded with the explicit agenda of perpetuating INEQUALITY and unfreedom. In
order to do this, they realized they must control not only the ACTIONS of the
citizens but their MINDS as well. The philosophy they adopted was called
COLLECTIVISM essentially, the power base is shaped like a PYRAMID. BIG BROTHER
is at the apex, followed by the inner party, the outer party, and the proles.
You were not born into a class; instead when you were 16, you WERE TESTED in
order to determine your placement within the society (though this is typically
the class you were born into). If you were excessively SMART/GIFTED then you
would be eliminated. If instead you were merely talented and therefore likely
to think independently, you would be placed in

THE OUTER PARTY to maintain the system, IngSoc is supported
by a controlling group known as the THOUGHT POLICE. The worst and only crime
that a citizen can commit is to THINK (not act) differently than what the party
desires.

Chapter 3: War is PEACE

There are three super states which occupy specific
geographic locations. They are: Oceania which occupies the lands of THE
AMERICAS, BRITAIN, AND AUSTRALIA, Eastasia which occupies CHINA, SOUTH ASIA AND
JAPAN, and EURASIA which occupies the Northern part of Europe and Asia from
Portugal to the Berlin Straight.

Consequently these states do constant battle over THE POLES
and AFRICA. Each state has a different belief system. For example, Oceania
believes in IngSoc or English Socialism. Likewise, Eastasia believes in OBLITERATION
OF SELF/DEATH WORSHIP and Eurasia in NEO-BOLSHEVISM. Despite these very
different states, they all function pretty much the same. They wage battle in
the “no-man” lands in order to gain a limited amount of physical resources and
LARGE “SLAVE” POPULATIONS This also helps the states because they are able to
rid themselves of SURPLUS GOODS which is necessary if they are going to keep
their populations at a low comfort-level. A low comfort-level denies people the
opportunity to think and question society. Scarcity allows for a few small
LUXURIES like chocolate, tobacco, and servants which allows the people to see
themselves as members of the high, middle, or low class. A state organized as a
HIERACHY/OLIGARCHY/TOTALITARIANSIM with different classes must be in a constant
state of war.

Because the war is constant, it has essentially stopped
being DANGEROUS No country wants to or intends to WIN the war.

The conspiracies will
never end as long as the masses are too foolish to understand that their
governments are fooling and using them. It is the duty of any citizen to
overthrow his or her government if he feels cheated, unsafe, unprotected and
used for some evil ambitions. For those who have an open and curious mind, understanding will come like a tired man's dreams.
